*Better access to scientific articles on EU-funded research: European 
Commission launches online pilot project

*Fast and reliable access to research results, especially via the 
Internet, can drive innovation, advance scientific discovery and support 
the development of a strong knowledge-based economy. The European 
Commission wants to ensure that the results of the research it funds 
under the EU's 7th Research Framework Programme (FP7) with more than € 
50 billion from 2007 - 2013 are disseminated as widely and effectively 
as possible to guarantee maximum exploitation and impact in the world of 
researchers and beyond. The Commission today launched a pilot project 
that will give unrestricted online access to EU-funded research results, 
primarily research articles published in peer reviewed journals, after 
an embargo period of between 6 and 12 months. The pilot will cover 
around 20% of the FP7 programme budget in areas such as health, energy, 
environment, social sciences and information and communication 
technologies.
